Having previously maintained that the Wisconsin Sikh temple gunman was shot dead by police, the FBI is now claiming that suspect Wade Michael Page died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head after he was hit by police. In a news conference Wednesday morning, FBI Special Agent Teresa Carlson told reporters that video footage showed Page shooting himself in the head after a police officer shot him in the stomach. She said that investigators have not yet “clearly defined a motive” for the Sunday shooting at the Sikh temple that left six worshippers dead, but agents have conducted more than 100 interviews nationwide, speaking with family, associates, and neighbors of Page. She also said 180 grand jury subpoenas have been issued.
